JRemote App Reviews

5 stars if improved with airplay support and support for creating playlist and rating tracks from the app/ipad to be saved innto the mc library

Good app and works well.please add shoutcast support.

It says timed out and it would not connect to my laptop.

Love, the app!!! The best DLNA/UPnP controller on the market!! The problem is support. If problems were addressed and the app continuously improved, it would be worth way more than the $10 theyre charging. If something goes wrong, expect to be ignored on the JRiver web site (there are no other avenues for help). Finally, seems like there are problems with iOS 10. Im having problems, others arent. Crickets from JRiver.

This app crashes immediately on IOS 10.0.2.

This used to be a great app, perhaps the best music app on iOS. Unfortunately, the vendor is no longer supporting it. It hasnt been updated since shortly after iOS 9 shipped. There are a number of problems with iOS 10 which the vendor has decided not to address. See the JRiver Interact Forum, topic "Remotes", for more info. Unless and until the vendor sees fit to actively support this app, you should avoid it if you are running iOS 10.0 or later. Its a shame, really; this app was great in its time.

Streams my library in my car, controls audio zones in my home, can edit metadata from anywhere, transcode or play lossless audio anywhere... these are some of my favorite features. As a few of the newer reviews state, support has ceased but the app is of such good quality that the few issues that have developed are only small annoyances to me.

I have been using JRiver as a music server on my PC for about a year and really like it (it can do movies too but I just use it for music). The IOS remote app had not been updated in a while (leading to rumors that JRiver would no longer support it) so this update is especially welcome! There wasnt actually much wrong with the previous version, but Im happy to report that the new one is streaming beautifully as I type! Go JRiver!

This app allows you to control Media Center 21 and is pretty useful/functional. I would only add one request, it would be very useful to have a shortcut to the remote control GUI from inside the audio/artist/album screen (and the same for other screens for that mater) I tend to use both depending on circumstances and it a bit of a pain to toggle through the multiple screens to get back and forth. I will give you that last star for this one thing

This version always crashes and goes away completely before even finishing one song when played locally on the 4th gen iPad. iOS is version 10.1.1. Older version of App worked fine before upgrade.

Just when some of the bugs from the previous version had been worked out, they came out with a new version. This one takes me about 20 minutes to sync with the J river software. Its just ridiculous. Again theyve made this totally worthless. My previous review... This app used to be pretty bad, as detailed in my original review below. But with the new version 3.21 out, it has gotten a lot worse. First I noticed that it was changing around all the album covers with my music files, so the wrong cover was associated with the wrong file. Then I found that the search function doesnt work at all. Indeed, it causes the app to crash. Finally, it stopped being able to connect with my computer at all. Totally worthless! My original review... ( Note, I only use this app for audio, so my comments may or may not apply to other media.) To me having a remote when I use JRiver is essential, and this one works quite well. Nevertheless, there are a lot of bugs in the software. For example, theres a volume control. Doesnt work. When listing albums alphabetically there is a setting to ask the program to ignore the words A and The at the beginning of album titles. Doesnt work. The search function is great, and very handy. When it brings up a number of results, however, and you choose the one you want, it will add all the other search results to your playlist. Very annoying! When looking at a list of albums there is an alphabet along the side of the page. The idea is that you can skip directly to the letter you want. This would be very handy if it worked, but for most of the letters of the alphabet it doesnt work.for some it does. Go figure. I hope they can get the bugs out of this program. If they do it would really be terrific. Theres another feature I would really love for them to add as well. I would love to be able to select a track, have it play, and then continue with the rest of the tracks in that album. Unfortunately theres no way to do this with this remote. I hope they add this.

All I ever receive running jremote through my iPad is audio streaming error after playing one song. Jrivers interact forum has never produced a response to my inquiry for help.

This is a great program companion to j river music player. The most recent version, 3.23, seems to have a minor bug where in iOS 10.0.2 the display puts one image on top of the other after the iPhone locks and is then unlocked. Have to close out and restart to fix problem

I use this to control the Jriver on my PC or Mac, but I also use it to stream music from those devices to my iOS devices playing the audio out my Aurender FLOW. This is a complete music system. Now fix the landscape viewing mode in the app.

Tremendous app. Have been using it from day 1. Just needs an easy way to sync a playlist to your phone for offline listening (ability to download songs to iPhone, listen when Im on a plane and rate, then sync ratings etc back up when on the ground would be awesome)

Great app. But the latest version along with the latest iOS does not connect to server over cellular network (I have an iPhone6, latest version of the app and iOS 10 as of today Dec 29, on T-mobile network). Also, vertical to horizontal view switching is buggy. Otherwise superb functionality. Please fix these two issues.

The best.

Still waiting for some basic bug fixes... Search does not return complete results. Albums of the same name, but different artists and genres are combined into a single album. Program will often disconnect from the server. It is still the best J. River app I have found on the iPad, but it could be MUCH better!

Nice update, but some serious bugs. I keep losing thumbnails and have to shut down and restart. Also still no fix for editing the Year field, nor Recent albums where you have more than one album with the same name (but different artists). Id happily pay for these bug fixes...

But Media Center 20 will not launch successfully with the current version. Must admit Im still on iOS 7 but dont think its that. Best app I own. Seriously considering moving back to MC 19 because of this app but holding out in hope a new version is on the way thats compatible.
